- Abstract
- The objective of this study is to obtain knowledge about the important factors that affect people when evacuating by elevator from underground stations. The objective is also to contribute for future development of recommendations and research in the field.
The study was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey in Stockholm. Two groups were selected, the first consisting of randomly selected people and the other members of organizations for people with different kind of mobility impairments. A total of 223 and 50 questionnaires were collected for each group. The study shows that people perceive elevator as an escape route as more risky than evacuate via stairs.

The study was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey in Stockholm. Two groups were selected, the first consisting of randomly selected people and the other members of organizations for people with different kind of mobility impairments. A total of 223 and 50 questionnaires were collected for each group. The study shows that people perceive elevator as an escape route as more risky than evacuate via stairs. However, the study shows that people who find themselves deeper under ground are more prone to the use of the evacuation elevator.
This report presents individuals' perceived risk in relation to evacuate by stairs and elevators. The report also presents how long individuals' are willing to wait for an evacuation elevator as well as information that can contribute to the use of evacuation elevators. (Less)
